My Weekly Grocery List

Very frequently, I get asked, “Sarah, what do YOU buy at the grocery store each week?” I used to keep a list on the website of a typical grocery list, but found that over time it changed and I just couldn’t keep up with the changes. So I removed it. Today, I am going to share with you what a current grocery list for me looks like (as of today :)) But please keep in mind that this list changes with my taste buds, fitness goals, the season, etc. I have a tendency to go on streaks of eating the same foods week after week and then switching it up! But some things will forever be a staple….like my brussels sprouts! 🙂

As you can see, I am a huge fan of vegetables! I eat them all day! I was actually thinking about logging how many servings of veggies I eat in a single day! haha I eat very basic, simple foods because I am usually short on time. My favorite quick late night meal is what I like to call my “refrigerator dump salad”! I take any veggies I am in the mood for, saute them up and throw them on top of some lettuce! Ta Da! Dinner! 🙂

Sarah,
I LOVE brussels sprouts! 
I pack my breakfast and lunch every week day and it’s basically the same staples with a slight variation of fruit here and there. In the evenings and on weekends, I cook with a variety of vegetables and add a salad and red meat or turkey as the mood strikes. According to my latest food diary (UGH!), I need to work on consuming more carbs and reducing my fat intake (unfortunately, I’m a tree nut nut :)).

Brussels sprouts are the best! And why the 'sigh' with the food diary? Also, why more carbs and less fat? Many people work really well on a lower carbohydrate/higher fat diet....like myself! :) We are each different!

About Sarah…

I have spent over one third of my life battling disordered eating and poor body image. I would view food as good or bad. All of my thinking was black and white. I would allow myself to eat based on the scale, my mood, or what environment I was in. Exercise consumed me. I thought this was the only way to achieve my “perfect” weight, body and life. read more...
